Man Shouting ‘Anti-Everything Slurs’ Kills 2 on Public Transportation in Portland, Police Say
KTLA ^ | 5/27/17

Posted on 05/27/2017 12:03:13 PM PDT by Timpanagos1

A man fatally stabbed two people and injured a third on a commuter train in Oregon’s largest city Friday as people confronted him for “yelling a gamut of anti-Muslim and anti-everything slurs,” a Portland police spokesman said.

Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, was on a Metropolitan Area Express (MAX) light-rail train in Portland late Friday afternoon when he started yelling what “would best be characterized as hate speech toward a variety of ethnicities and religions,” police said in news release.

Christian may have directed slurs at two young women who witnesses described as Muslim, one of whom was wearing a hijab, Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson told CNN.

As two men tried to calm him down, Christian stabbed them and one other man, police said.

The video at the link you provided stated, “The suspect was talking, and then others, “Intervened”.

Does anyone know they mean by, “Intervened”?

yup. Blacks were outlawed at Statehood(1859). Not strictly enforced, but not very welcoming, either.

Funny how quickly they knew there were two Muslim women on the train...and they make it sound like they were the main victims. Hell, it takes them forever to identify Muslim terrorist...and only after endless reports implying it wasn’t Islam involved.

A concealed carry person could possibly have stopped it.

Are you hinting that the suspect was defending himself against attackers?
= = =

No hinting.

Just a straight forward question about the usefulness of a knife for self defense.

Next problem is how to carry a knife within ‘legal parameters’.

Maybe I should self-declare as a chef.

This guy hates actual Christians per his FB rants, he’s technically a nihilist that harasses both left AND right.

Lets sum this up.

: According to big media, like the alleged suspect was talking out loud and some others didn't like what he was saying, so they, "Intervened".

I'm not sure what "intervened" means here.

I am going to speculate. Based on what I have read, it sounds like this guy was speaking/ranting to the Muslim woman and others overhearing it, jumped in and physically attacked the alleged suspect. And for their trouble were stabbed as the alleged suspect defended himself against possibly 3 to 1 odds, all males. And while this is going on, the two Muslim woman took off to parts unknown according to the cops.

And I could be wrong, but in that image, which I assume was obtained shortly after he was arrested, appears to have a head injury, just above his left eye.

NPR seems to get a lot of muslim as victim mileage off this carnage.

Can you imagine being a city of Portland cop and having to follow this idiot wearing a flag around while he is insulting people?

“Maybe I should self-declare as a chef.”

Would that make you a member of the trans-occupational community?
